Gu Biao's supporting real estate business in the Xiangji sector can only be regarded as a risk hedging.

The nature is similar to that of people who do business, in order to ensure that the cost of their upstream supply chain does not fluctuate, and the defensive futures index is similar to that——

If the land and labor costs of Xiangjiang's industrial industry rise too quickly in the future, then rely on the land obtained at a low price today as a hedge to amortize the rising costs.

However, since it has been done, it must be done well, and it is necessary to make careful calculations where business and business should improve efficiency. Gu Biao is neither here to knock on the bone and suck the marrow, nor is he here to do charity.

After following Zhang Zhongmou around the construction site, Gu Biao didn't find any problems.

I just noticed that the plot of land in the Shajiao Development Zone, an area near the coast that is planned to be used as a factory for Xiangjidian in the future, is leveling the beach at the moment, and there are large machinery pushing stones into the sea for reclamation.

"Why do you need to reclaim the sea to build a factory? How high is the cost of reclamation, it's not cost-effective. Isn't the land price in Shajiao very cheap right now?" asked Gu Biao puzzled.

But Zhang Zhongmou didn't know about this, and he only asked the people around him when he heard this.

Zhang Zhongmou found out about the reclamation a week ago, but he didn't take it seriously, he was engaged in electronics and didn't know anything about real estate, so he didn't know how expensive the cost of reclamation was.

Gu Biao, after all, he cooperated with Huo's and did a wave of real estate speculation in Vancouver, which also involved many high-rise real estate projects built by Hong Kong capital in Vancouver at that time. So Gu Biao more or less became illiterate.

He knows that in general real estate development, the cost of excavating a mountain to build a basement is at least equivalent to the cost of building four or five floors from flat ground. The cost of reclamation can reach the cost of 20 floors from flat land.

Seeing that Zhang Zhongmou didn't know, Gu Biao asked the assistant beside him: "Who is this construction outsourced to?"

"Report to the boss, it is a construction unit under Zhixin Real Estate. The assistant replied carefully and did not dare to have any opinion on the boss's forgetfulness.

Gu Biao thought for a second before he reacted, believing that real estate was a real estate company under the name of the Huo family, an old partner.

"Call the person in charge, and I'll ask a few questions. Gu Biao commanded immediately.

The assistant immediately went to the contact, and then Gu Biao asked the other party in person why he planned to reclaim the sea, but the other party was obviously not at the right level, and only said that he was acting on orders.

Gu Biao shook his head helplessly, so he had to go back to the car and call Huo Shao with the car phone - in 85 years, Xiangjiang Telecom has begun to plan to engage in the "Big Brother" mobile phone, but the network has not yet been laid and constructed, and it belongs to the preparatory stage, so the most luxurious and convenient communication method is still only the car phone. It is estimated that in the second half of the year or next year, you will be able to use your mobile phone.

"What advice does Gu Sheng have?" When the other party picked up the phone, he didn't say much about it at all.

Gu Biao asked politely: "Brother Huo, there is something I don't want to connect, so I will disturb you: Zhixin Real Estate is next to the factory plot in Sha Tau Kok, why is it still engaged in land reclamation? This cost is too high in vain, do you have another meaning?"

Huo Shao: "Didn't you ask Professor Lin to do the EIA, and passed the article 'reclamation of coastal landforms in Shajiao does not destroy the tidal flats and Haitian coral ecology'?" We are also pretending to fill in a little bit to create an established precedent, so that we can reopen the precedent when we want to fill it in later.

This reclamation did not specifically transport rocks and earthwork from other places, but just dumped the waste materials from the construction leveling and excavation of Taguling and other surrounding slopes into the sea. ”

The algorithm of "reclamation to build a house, the cost is equivalent to a 20-story building directly from flat land" in Gu Biao's impression just now, it is also not rigorous, but it is only for specially transporting earthwork to fill in, such as the new land area of Monaco in later generations to be used as a luxury villa area, which is probably this cost.

But the reason why Monaco people are expensive is because Monaco is too small, there are no mountains to dig in the country, and the French are stuck with them, and later generations do not allow them to pump sand from the sea to blow up, saying that it will damage Haiti's corals, and the environmental impact assessment fails, "Although it fills in Monaco's own territorial waters, it is the Haitian ecology of the French continental shelf."

Therefore, the Monegasques in later generations are equivalent to importing earthwork and pouring it into the sea, which is naturally sky-high.

If it can be pumped and filled with sand in the South China Sea in the later Chinese style, the cost can be several times cheaper than transporting earthwork and stone into the sea. As for the direct treatment of the waste materials blown up from the construction of the nearby mountains, it is cheaper, but the scale of construction cannot be guaranteed.

Gu Biao listened to Huo Shao's meaning, this time he believed that real estate was obviously the third type, and it was purely to make a show and occupy a pit first. In the future, it will also be convenient for Professor Lin to continue to publish papers and arguments in EST and follow up according to actual cases, so as to further confirm that "a certain construction method does not destroy a certain type of offshore seabed ecology".

That's as it should be, even if you spend a little more, you can spend a little more. After all, EST journals and the TNC Association are American-led, global influences. If a new trend of environmental protection is formed, it will not only apply to Hong Kong, but also to foreign countries. In the future, if Gu Biao wants to count on this stepping stone, throw bricks to lead jade back to Monaco to officially expand business, and carry private goods, there are many bargaining chips.

"Then Brother Huo really understands me, thank you. Gu Biao is not a person who cares about detailed accounts, so he thanked the other party generously and hung up the phone.

Then he turned back to greet the person in charge of the project present and patted the other party on the shoulder: "Do a good job, I have an extra reward here." We don't want to have a large amount of land, but we must do it well, and we will greet and test the current advanced reclamation engineering technology. When I came back, I asked Professor Lin to bring some foreign scientists to inspect and let them see the environmental protection situation after our Chinese-style reclamation construction. ”

Even if it is faked after construction, it is necessary to fake the ecology of the seabed, including corals, to look good.

Of course, this last half of the subtext, Gu Biao didn't say it in his heart.

How to fake, it's not that he, a black-hearted capitalist, needs to care about the details, leave it to Professor Lin, there is a specialization in the art industry.

……

The inspection of the progress of the project of Xiangji and supporting projects has come to an end. Before leaving, Gu Biao listened to the report, the civil construction of the plant part, at least half a year to complete, if you bring the interior decoration, dust-free equipment installation, it is estimated that it will be used at the end of the year - this is already under the heavy reward, faster than the "speed of the special zone" "Xiangjiang speed".

On the basis of the progress of the infrastructure, Zhang Zhongmou assessed that at least three more months should be given to him for equipment procurement and commissioning after the completion of the dust-free workshop, so Xiangji can officially produce semiconductors, how can it be in the second quarter of 86.

Gu Biao has nothing to say about this progress. Historically, it took two years for TSMC to build a factory, which is already much faster, and it all depends on the speed of funds in place.

However, Gu Biao only made an extra request: "I don't care when the factory is built, but the lithography machine is good, and other equipment that you feel needs to be imported from Yueben, try to purchase it in the third quarter, and don't delay it until the end of the year at the latest." ”

Zhang Zhongmou couldn't understand: "Why is this? If you buy something that you don't need for the time being, if you buy it first, will it be depreciated and depreciated in your hands?"

And with so much money occupied, the financial cost is not low. In addition, the equipment is upgraded every year, although the price of the old ones is not as high as that of consumer electronics......"

Obviously, Zhang Zhongmou's words are the same thinking habits as other ordinary people: buy early and enjoy early, and buy late with discounts. If you buy it for the time being, you can't enjoy it, so wait for the discount.

Gu Biao: "I know the trend of the international trade war better than you, and I have more friends in the U.S. Department of Commerce. I think that with such a sharp deficit between the United States and Japan, the Americans will take measures. It's hard to say the exact means, extent, and timing, but I think that the price of yen assets that can only be made by one person in the world may rise. ”

He can't directly talk about the Plaza Agreement, but when it comes to this step, it can still be said that he will not be suspected of being a traverser, and Zhang Zhongmou will not be too blind and overact.

In the future, even if it comes true, others will only secretly praise Gu Wei's analytical ability and vision. Anyway, he has been a visionary prophet for several years, and he has not gone too far from the field of international relations analysis to the trade war situation.

According to Gu Wei's estimate, if it drags on for a few more months to half a year, the price of non-fungible yen assets may rise by more than 30%.

Zhang Zhongmou thought for a while: "Since you said so, I don't care. I can do the procurement work in advance, but I will ask the board of directors to include these fixed assets in your equity investment amount only at the market price of the equipment when it is officially put into production, right?"

In other words, what he means is that "no matter whether the equipment is bought in advance, whether it is expensive or cheap, it will be included in the company's equity contribution according to the international market price when it is first put into use."

Gu Biao smiled slightly, he wished he could do so. This is tantamount to Zhang Zhongmou having to give him a few percentage points more equity on the terms originally negotiated.

"Since Uncle Zhang is not at ease, let the supervisors and legal affairs confirm this matter when the time comes, let's make up for it. ”

Leaving such a beautiful sentence, Gu Biao drifted away.

That night, Gu Biao returned to the long-lost mansion on the top of the mountain, ready to relax.

In order to fight the environmental impact assessment of the Guling-Shatoujiao Development Zone, Gu Biao hid outside for several months to avoid suspicion, and of course, to accumulate contacts and prestige in the charity and environmental protection circles.

Now, it's finally time to get back on the high profile.

As soon as he got home, he actually found that Han Ting was blocking him at home, and as soon as they met, he teased: "Our Gu Dashao has finally made a strong comeback, do you want to have a celebration in the rich circle of Xiangjiang?" Or are you going to hold a few rookies signed by record companies, show your face on radio variety shows, and let's also be an award guest?"

Of course, Han Ting came in the name of talking about business, so she just sat in the living room and waited for him, dressed very neatly and dignified.

"Let's open it if you want to kick it, there is no need to be too high-profile for the time being, it seems that we are nouveau riche. If Xiangjidian wants to be officially produced, why does it take more than half a year, and now even the house has just begun to be built. ”
